Settled in Hawaii

[EKman]

Hi Guys,
Well, my collection has made the trip over to sunny Hawaii. I thought that I would give yall a look at the new room and see if I remember how to post on the forum anymore!
Thanks

My grandfather brought the grass slippers and other native items back with him from the South Pacific at the end of WWII, funny, after sixty years, this stuff has almost made it back to where it started from

More stuff my grandfather brought back--he and my grandmother are planning a trip over to visit next summer, that will be a real treat.

Hey Chris,
Glad to see you've settled in your new digs in the islands. Welcome back on board. Too bad your missing the hot west Texas summer.

Chris,
Looking good. I would bet that putting everything out again and re-arranging your display was fun in itself.

Lee my friend, good to hear from you. Yes, of course I miss that brutal Texas heat--of course I have only traded it in for some nearly brutal Hawaii heat. Whomever first told the lie that the average daily temp. in Hawaii is a comfortable 70 degrees with a constant breeze ought to be shot, it is more like 88 degrees. Wow, we have an icon that represents how I looked after coming home from the beach last weekend and my wife as well . Oh well, but yes, it was fun to set everything back up again, though I was sweating bullets hoping that everything was packed correctly and nothing would be damaged or missing.

Hello Chris.

Looks great! You have a wonderful eclectic collection. It will be interesting to hear what you pick-up in Hawaii over time.

Thanks for sharing.
